Thanks for looking at this. Speaking from the kernel team's perspective, we'd like to see all kernel related packages from that PPA to be treated as "official Ubuntu packages" wrt apport bug reporting. I'm assuming the X team will be of the same opinion thus we'd be able to treat all packages from that PPA as "official Ubuntu packages".
And just to start thinking out loud, as we look ahead we may want to rename the PPA to not be specifically tied to Q. This concept of providing newer packages (eg the kernel, X, etc) to the previous LTS release will persist going forward so we may want to generically name the PPA so that we won't have to patch apport for every new release. Just a thought.
